PLATINUM GOATS

The organisers of the 28th International Young Audience Film Festival Ale Kino! have decided to award three special prizes of the Festival - Platinum Goats. They go to:

- The TV Studio of Animation Films in Poznań, for thirty years' work and its fruits: beautiful films, which delight children in Poland and the world over;

- “The Magic Tree" directed by Andrzej Maleszka, the film which has won accolades at so many festivals that it has become the most internationally acclaimed Polish feature in the recent years;

- Václav Vorlíček, an outstanding film director from the Czech Republic, on his 80th birthday, for his lifetime achievement in the area of children's films, including the TV production “Arabella" - a cult series, which made thousands of Polish kids turn on TVs in search of fun and magic, so scarce outside our windows at the time of its first emissions.
